Re: [B2-devel] SS MacOSX on PPC problem (precise timer patch issue?)

[Lew Irwin/S. B. <st...@us...>]

Just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for the upgraded Sheepshaver. It
solved my previous problems -- and then some!

One other small glitch that I wanted to bring to your attention. I am unable
to paste directly between Internet Explorer and Clarisworks' spreadsheet. I
must first paste to Tex-Edit Pro, then copy again and then paste to
Clarisworks. It's a very small nuisance since I don't have to do this on a
regular basis, but you might want to look into the matter.
